The National Convention of the
X. of L. met at Minneapolis, Mon
day. Powderly, in an address, bold
ly defended his views upon immigra-
ton and temperance. In reference
to the latter he said:
81 may be crank on this question,
but | am not ashamed to say that
would far rather see men sober than
drunkards. 1t is better to educate
children to be temperate than drunk
ards. There is not man living who
will say it is right to bring into the
home that which damns the head of
the family. Are those here who
threatened to leave the order because
of my position on this question?
say to all who withdraw for such a
cause $50" I'll trust the fate of
this nation with sober men and wom-
en-. I'll never take back one word of
what l have said on the temperance
question, so help me Cod"

The following is the formal order
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in reference to the recent
hearing at Rutland upon complaint
of the Vermont Grange:
These three cases having been brought
on to be heard at Rutland, in the state of
Vermont, on documentary and oral testi-
mony, and counsel having been heard on
behalf of the respectiee parties, that is to
say, Mr.. Samuel Hoar for the complain
ants in the first two cases, Mr.. George f.
Edmunds and Mr.. Haskins, of Haskins
& Stoddard, for the compliments in the
third case, and Messrs. B. +. Fifield and
A. A. Strout for the defendants; and
due deliberation havinn been had, and the
report and opinion of the commissioners
being now fled: 1t is now ordered and
adiudged that the Central Vermont rail-
road company and the other defendants
concerned with it in interstate traffic be-
tween Boston, in the state of MaSsachu-
sets, and St. Adams, in the state of Yer
mont, or between Boston aforesaid and
Ogdensburgh, in the state of New York
including these points respectively, do
and shall wholly and Immediately cease
and desist from charging or receiving in
respect of any part of such traffic great
er compensation for the transportation of
like kind of property for shorter than
for longer distance over the same line
in the same direction, the shorter being
included within the longer distance.
And it is further ordered that a copy of
this order, with notice requiring obedi-
ence thereto, be forthwith sent to each of
the defendant corporations, and that at
the same time there be also sent to each
of such defendants copy of the report
and opinion of the commission above re-
ferred to.

Echoes from the Press.

What is sought is the adjustment
of rates on a fair basis and the estab-
lishment of business arrangements
between the people and the railways
that shall be mutually satisfactory
and advantageous. Such state of
things has never existed along the
line of the Central Vermont, and all
efforts by peaceful means, or through
the Intervention of the state courts
and legislature, to make, such ar
rangements have been thwarted by
well known agencies. For the first
time in his life, Governor Smith, the
arch chief of this defiant conspiracy
against the welfare of the state, has
been hailed before a tribunal he could
not control, and the result is the first
substantial victory the people OF
Vermont have ever won against an
autocratic and INSCRIPTIONS railway
power. Rutland may prove the
Runnymede of the farmers of Ver-
mont, who have finally risen against
the rapacity of king who, like his
historic prototype, also bears the
name of John.-Rural Vermonter.

HOW THE QUESTION CAME HOME,

In the dusk of u summer evening
rocked my child to rest;
Then sat and unused with my darling
Still folded on my breast,
His ringlets swept my shoulder,
His breath was ON my cheek,
And | kissed the dimpled fingers
With a love | could not speak.
A form came through the gateway,
And up the garden walks
And my nclghbor sat down as often
To have an evening talk.
She saw me caress my baby
With almost reverent touch,
And she shook her gray head gravely;
''You love that boy to much"
"That cannot be-" | answered,
"While love our Father more;
He smiles on a mothers rapture
Der the baby that she bore
For awhile we both sat silent
In the twllight's deeper gray;
Then she said, ~ believe that baby
Grows lovelier every day"
And | suppose that the reason
feel so drawn to him,
Is because he reminds me strongly
OF my own little baby, jim"
My heart stood still a moment
With horror | dared not show,
With the trembling voice beside me
Went on In accent low -
"Just the same high, white forehead,
And rings of shining hair,
And the smile of artless mischief
have seen this Jamie wear.
''And I've sometimes thought-well Mary
The feeling no doubt you guess
That my trouble wonld now be lighter
Had loved my baby less"
My neighbor rose abruptly
And left me in the gloom,
But the sob of broken spirit
Was echoing in the room.
And when the lamp was lighted,
knelt by Jamie's bed;
And wept DER the noble forehead,
And the ringlet crowned head.
For l thought of the bloated visage,
And the matted hair of him
Who all the village children
knew only as Drunken jim"
And my heart cried out, 80, Father,
Spare me that bitter cup.
And destroy the liquor traffic
Before my boy grows up"

The New York Evening Post az
CUES that because intoxicants are sold
in a prohibition state prohibition is a
delusion and snare. 1t would be
as sensible for us in Vermont to say
that, inasmuch as ribe-giving and
bribe- taking have been known in
New York city, the laws against
these offenses are useless. The laws
prohibit large number of crimes,
but they do not entirely prevent their
commission. They are simply the
best preventive measures that man
kind has been able to devise. A
large majority of the people Of YER
mont believe the prohibitory liquor
law to be the most efficient means of
lessening the liquor traffic, and there
fore it is kept upon our statute books.
No one but a resident of Utopia or
of the arid and rumless wastes of
Manhattan island would expect it to
annihilate the trade in intoxicants.-

Of the roads to be crippled and in
